“The Kingfish band: What a fun-tastic band! Our students, their families, & the alumni would not let The Kingfish leave the stage. They came back time after time and played to a much energized crowd. YOU GOTTA' HEAR THEM, SEE THEM AND DANCE WITH THEM! You won't be sorry! It was my first time attending one of their concerts & I am a 'hooked' on The Kingfish! Thanks to The Kingfish for making our alumni weekend a huge success!”

"The Kingfish played our wedding at the Chicago History Museum and were amazing! From the very start they were extremely helpful in everything from discussing the play list, to logistics for our indoor/outdoor reception. They sounded awesome and more than a few guests commented on how great they were. My husband Mark I and couldn't have been happier booking them".

"We have utilized various formats of entertainment for our tailgate parties prior to our home football games at Benedictine. No band, DJ or other entertainment service has electrified our students, fans, alumni and guests quite like The Kingfish! Their level of professionalism is unmatched and they possess a unique ability to engage the audience. We are excited to have them back for the 2010 season and look forward to them energizing our fans!"

“We were fortunate enough to book The Kingfish as the entertainment for our wedding in October of 2009. We had really done our homework on local bands and felt that The Kingfish had an authentic rock and roll sound and played a diverse range of music that other bands just could not match. We attended a few performances by the band in the months leading up to the wedding and were completely sold. We initially expressed to the band that we had a very specific set list that we would like to hear at our wedding. The band was exceedingly accommodating and agreed to learn more than a dozen new songs, including our wedding song!
When we arrived at our reception, the band had already done a sound-check and was ready to announce our bridal party. They did a flawless job of MC’ing our wedding and announced all of our speeches. The song learned for our first dance was a difficult one, but they performed it beautifully and my Dad could not believe that it was not a recording. Our guests were incredibly impressed with the band and several people commented: "This is one of the best Live Shows that I have seen in a long time" and "Best Wedding Band I've Ever Heard". Every song that The Kingfish learned was executed flawlessly - they nailed each one!
These guys are truly talented musicians, they play great songs, have an extensive set list and they have a funky, high-energy rock and roll sound. If you want a programmed generic wedding band experience with no soul, choose an area wedding band. If you want your event to truly rock and get people out on the dance floor all night, consider The Kingfish! The guys were incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. The Kingfish have my highest possible recommendation, and we were so lucky to have them for our big day; they are top notch musicians and truly made our wedding a fantastic event that we will fondly remember for the rest of our lives.”

“The Kingfish have been playing at Moher Public House once a month for the past few years now and every time they play, it is a great time! Not only do they bring fans in, but they keep customers there because of the atmosphere they create. They are a fun, upbeat band that ensures a great time every time!”

“The Kingfish headlined our fundraiser & helped us draw over 250 people, raising thousands of dollars for our organization, far exceeding our expectations. The Kingfish brought the house down!”

“The Kingfish played at our wedding in October of '07 and I still hear from friends and family about how incredible they were! The song list was great, but the performance was better. You couldn't drag me away from the dance floor. Live music was a top priority for us and The Kingfish went above and beyond our expectations. As my husband would say; “They burned the house down!” From the very start, they were accommodating, helpful and supportive. A special thanks to all the guys in the band for contributing their “awesomeness” to our celebration!”
